hmm, new problem in addition to the proximity sensor one above. When I'm using the phone noLED interrupts with notifications even when the device is awake and the screen is on/being used.

I'm sure all this is related to WidgetLocker somehow (at least I hope it is.. thats easier to fix that if its a kernel/rom problem) but I don't have a clue what settings to do to make it all work happily together.

grrrr....
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
NoLED has some compatibility issues with WidgetLocker. We tried to fix them a couple of revisions ago and things got rolling, but as I don't use WL myself, I can't really say how well or how solid that integration is, or if it still holds.

NoLED's translation files are being crowd sourced :) you're very welcome to contribute here: http://crowdin.net/project/noled

Thanks in advance.

I thought I fixed that in the last version. I'll take another look at it.

Edit: you're right ! it indeed doesn't terminate ongoing notifications. Fixed and the next release will have this new code in it.

I'm planning on adding a "filter" to each monitored app so that NoLED won't trigger unless this filter returns true. The filter will be a text that you set, so for example you'd be able to dismiss all Skype notifications except the ones that start with "new message".

Individual timeouts sound good too. We can easily add all these features via long-press which is already implemented to set custom icons.

Two entries in my to-do list.

I fixed this :confused:

The proximity issue could be a kernel problem. The device should be able to "wake up" after idling due to proximity sensor lock. I can't think of any reason for this to be buggy except unreliable kernel tweaks/code.

The problem where NoLED displays a notification while you're active on the phone is certainly related to WL. Seems like the flags are not set correctly, or they're getting reset somehow. Try to put the NoLED icon in the status bar to keep the service persistent in the background. Perhaps these flags are getting reset/corrupted when your lowmem Android settings decides to terminate NoLED's background services.
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
thanks, i'll give that a try :)
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
Regarding WidgetLocker (WL) I use it with NoLED successfully. See this post for more detail.

The short of it is to go to NoLED settings -> Miscellaneous and check "Use back button" and uncheck "Use Home Button"

I've been using them together for months now after making that simple change. I don't think there were any WL changeds required.
[Android Apps and Games] viva.fidel:
Does enabling the proximity sensor to temporarily hide the screen notifications use any additional battery? I've got a SGS2 and I can see the sensor light up in red when notifications are present so I presume it's in constant use
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
yea, its using the proximity sensor constantly so you got that battery usage.

its nowhere near as wasteful as having the screen on though :)
[Android Apps and Games] viva.fidel:
Should the sensor be lighting up red though, seems a bit worrying! I thought the screen would use less than keeping the sensor awake, is there any way of testing this?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I believe its no reason to worry. the sgs2 uses infrared in its proximity sensor technology, hence that red light in the top left
[Android Apps and Games] viva.fidel:
Thanks for your reply, great app bu the way! left the sensor setting on and no auto-dismiss and it absolutely murdered my battery overnight though! Took >40% with the screen responsible of 89% of that..

Making it auto dismiss after 5min now, sensor off. Final q, if I have a 1sec blink on/3sec off, will this reduce batt usage or be an extra strain due to the screen wakeups?
[Android Apps and Games] AmesCell:
I did a bunch of testing where I ran NoLed for 1 hour increments in various configurations. I found that blinking the screen was slightly worse than leaving it on. Not much. I lost about 10% per hour with the screen on the whole time; 11% with it blinking.

I found it's better to have the proximity sensor on than the screen. I cover up the proximity sensor so it would run instead of the screen and lost about 5%.

My idle with NoLed off was 1%.
[Android Apps and Games] T_Frain_K:
I just wanted to drop by and say Thank You for this app. I´ve been using it for quite a while, really an astonishing addition to a S-AMOLED device. :) (Plus, i really like the charging percentage display)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
It would make sense that blink would consume less battery. That's really why I implemented this feature in the first place. I know that the biggest battery drainer in a phone is the screen, and thats by a far shot. So minimizing the time when the screen is actually on with the all pixels activated should reduce the battery consumption considerably.

Best way to figure all of that out is to try the feature and see what it does for you :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Hi madmak. Nice app.

I have a problem with noled and with stock 2.3.3 rom: when i install your app I loose the tones within my contacts groups. The general call tone is applied to all groups and not the one that i choose. For exemple: I have a music of muse as general call tone, in my family group I have Dire Straits, so when someone that is in my family group calls me, it should play the dire straits tone. But with noled installed it plays always the general call tone, in this case Muse... Don't know how to solve this...
[Android Apps and Games] AmesCell:
What about a settings export/import to SD?
[Android Apps and Games] BeeDubs:
Is there a reason I can't monitor a specific app? List just hangs while trying to populate.
[Android Apps and Games] asicman:
I tried the permanent clock display option, then switched it off. But when there are notifications, the clock keeps on coming back. I have tried killing the NoLED process and restarting the phone, but the clock keeps on showing up even though permanent clock display is not enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] asicman:
Meh....took two reinstalls to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

What are the speed capabilities of your phone. I have almost 200 apps on my Vibrant and it takes a long time for all the apps to populate even with the 1Ghz processor. A couple of times I interrupted the process because I thought the phone froze, but I was not waiting long enough.:)
[Android Apps and Games] BeeDubs:
I have the Fascinate, so the same processor. I finally got it to populate but I don't think it had to do with hardware limitations. Maybe not enough ram was free at the time.
[Android Apps and Games] Chiraag_G:
As I am looking to get a SGS II, coming from BlackBerry, I will miss the notification icons otherwise. Therefore, this app is a MUST for me and I appreciate the time taken, even before using it, to address these issues. Once I am set up on SGS II I will grab this app and definitely make a donation due to the initiative taken here.

Again, most appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
hey thanks for this. It seems to be working so far. It's unfortunate that you have to do this though as on my Galaxy S i much prefer to press the physical centre 'click' button to wake the phone after a notification, as opposed to the touch back button on the right of it. Also I find myself accidentally pressing that as I take it out of my pocket... never did this with the centre button.

BUT.... it seems to have fixed my problem for now, so I'm very appreciative for that! Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Anyone with the same problem?
[Android Apps and Games] willstay:
Great app. I was just wishing for an option to wakeup and unlock screen by double pressing the physical home button.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
That is strange as I certainly don't override other apps' settings or the ringtone setup. Maybe because the screen was on at the time the Phone app chooses a different ringtone ? try to test getting a call from them while your screen is on to see if that's the culprit. otherwise I don't see how its related to my app :confused:

it'll be implemented one day. i'm busy nowadays with some other stuff. but i have it on my to-do list and having switched phones recently and lost my titanium backup, i realized how important it was. I've also installed some apps recently that use a cool xml file to export/import settings. So I'll definitely be heading this route. will probably make NoLED check whether you have a saved setup file when you initially install NoLED and have it load that automatically :)

I realize the loading mechanism of NoLED's monitored apps is not the best out there :( I need to invest sometime to get it to populate the list using multiple threads but given how often i expect users to visit this setup page of NoLED, i've kept it pretty low priority in my to-do list. If it does crash with an FC though, you should be able to send in a report and I'll have a look at it.

bug(FC) != slow, so it must be fixed.

yea, go to Toggle Notifications and uncheck "Display time". that'll get rid of it for good. When you check permanent time display under the Misc. submenu, it automatically checks that one in Toggle Notifications for you.

I'd rather stay away from playing around with the Home Button. lol. The only feature that has anything to do with the home button in NoLED is the feature to block it from dismissing NoLED, and that itself is causing problems on some of the newer devices (the g2 if memory serves me right). Android's relation with the Home button is a very intimate one and it hates it when you steal that away from it while your app is active.
[Android Apps and Games] ADSrox0r:
Is there a way to make the clock display when on AC power? I'd like to use NoLED as a bedside clock at night but don't want the clock always on when off charge.
[Android Apps and Games] xtoad:
Thanks for this app!

Installed on both mine and my gf (who love it as someone who was always turning on the screen looking for notifications).

For us, much preferred over BLN.

The one thing that would make it perfect for me is if it was possible to use the phone's reject list so that rejected numbers didn't trigger NoLED?

In any case, good job and thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] ADSrox0r:
+1 for blacklist support. I get bombarded with spam calls so I've had to turn NoLED's missed call notification off.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
currently, nope :(

I'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
It appens all the time: with or without the screen on or off...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
try keeping the screen on while noled is not installed and get a call from one of these groups. that's the best way to test it.
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
It works fine with or without the screen on when noled is not installed.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
then i have no idea what might be causing this behavior. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
After 3 reboots it started working fine with groups, but it only show the notifictions if the screen is off when the call arrives
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
right, it wouldn't be a missed call if your screen is on :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] byterapper:
Some small things again :)

-If I tick the "proximity sensor" (not the "dismiss with proximity sensor"), it turns the screen on, dismisses the events and after some seconds goes black, looks like a regular dismiss to me.

This first nuisance becomes a real issue with this point:

I flashed my phone to darky's rom 10.1 (gingerbread) yesterday and since then had it several times that the sceen timout did not work. After a lot of messing around (screen only went off with a power button press), I could solve it when I changed noled's "delay all notifications", but no matter what value I entered, it occured again after some time. I am not sure if it has to do with this option or if an option change triggers a reinitialization of the faulty configuration somewhere else, sadly this problem did not occur often enough to try more things, but I can confirm with noled off it didn't happen at all and that it happened without launchers.

Oh btw, are my new translations not approved on purpose? ;)

Just kidding, you're doing an amazing job and shouldn't waste all your spare time!
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Wrong :). And if I let the phone in other room whyle in silent and with the screen on, shouldn't I be notified of the missed call when the screen becames off?

Or an email, or an sms, etc....

It should be possible to have the notifications until dismiss....
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
Is anyone able to get a missed call or voicemail notification using the dialer or phone setting in monitored apps?

It works if you use the NoLED's built in version, but as soon as I try to do it through monitored apps I get a notification at the START of a call which overrides anything I'm doing.. and then another when they hang up.

I want my custom icons lol. Anybody figured this out? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
it seems like its a bug with the memory management settings. If the screen turns off (due to my proximity sensor setting), it terminates the app. that surely shouldn't happen, but i believe low mem is causing it.

translations don't need to be approved to make their way to the release version :) crowdin doesn't give an easy way to approve all comments. I simply will have to go through each translation and approve them one by one, which is a waste of time. lol

NoLED will only trigger events if your screen is off or in some cases, if the screen is on and the lock screen is active. If you don't have either, NoLED won't trigger events.

Interesting. It seems the Phone and Dialer put a notification in the status bar when a call comes in, and another when they hang up. If you want custom icons just go to the website and read the Themes section. You can load your custom icons even with the built-in notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] byterapper:
Hm, if it terminates it restarts again before i can even get my screen unlocked (MultiTouch Pro reports it's running as a service). I also got about 70mb of free ram according to task manager.

Is there a good way how I can collect more information that could be useful to you, kind of like a debug output or sth.? I have no experience programming for android or mobile devices, but I would be interested...

By the way the screen staying on only showed up once since I posted, I (irrationally) cross my fingers it keeps this direction of development ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Majarvis:
madmack (I apologize if this has already been asked):

In a future release, can you make it so that we can change all notification icons (not just the "other" applications' icons)?

The reason I ask is because, no matter what combination of options I try, NoLED refuses to use the "other" applications icon for things such as Google Talk, messages, etc. It will keep using the low quality notification icons for Google Talk and SMS/MMS, etc. I'd like to choose the icon for NoLED to use for the notifications like missed call, etc. (or at least include more high quality looking icons that would match those found in Gingerbread).

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
the background service is actually a different process than the notification screen activity. so your mem management is probably terminating the icons activity (possibly the background service too, but that restarts itself immediately). unfortunately I don't print anything to logcat but you could probably still see whether android is terminating my activity through logcat.

you'll need to get adb, then "adb logcat" through cmd prompt in windows. you can provide that output here too and I'll have a quick look at it :)

check out "themes" in the NoLED website for information on how to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
Excellent, thanks!

oh, and you should have your website address in your signature on here.. so with every post you make people can see your website - and not just on the 2nd post of this thread :)
[Android Apps and Games] Majarvis:
Thanks! Somehow I must have missed that when looking before. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
Its a nice app if it would only work as it should.

sometimes it works and sometimes not

Am I missing anything ?

I am using widgetlocker but stock lockscreen IS disabled

Also tried what someone mentioned about disabling home button in noled but still no go I don't get any notifications
[Android Apps and Games] cvdveer:
Somehow since the last update (4.3.2) NoLED will stay on top with every incoming call. I have to press the home button, unlock the phone for the call to become accessible which is usually too late.

SGS - 2.3.3/JVH - rooted and voodoolagfixed
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
go to the misc. submenu and enable the persistent noled notification. noled's background service is being terminated, thats why you get them "sometimes" only.

i can assure you that this is caused by a system lag and not 4.3.2 because i didn't change anything in the incoming call broadcast receiver. i can't replicate this issue on my device here :(

No Led and go sms

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate.

We tried on two different galaxy s2. One is rooted and the second not.

We have few issues with the not rooted one or perhaps it is due to a different build version.

My question is : do I need to be root ?
[Android Apps and Games] zero0n3:
Hi madmack

i've an SGS with darky rom gingerbread

noled works well but,

i receive an sms and the correct icon appear on screen

i read sms then i lock the screen

if i receive an email i still got the sms icon and not the mail (but the other icons are selected in preferences)

same thing if i receive first an email then an sms or a gtalk chat

the icon of the first thing i receive will be the icon for all..

do you know about this bug?

do you have a solution?

thanks

bye
[Android Apps and Games] byterapper:
Sadly, I can't solve your problem, but I can confirm that it is not your rom, as I have the same :)

Did you try to log you apps (under advance)? maybe this will tell you if noled in your case fails to read the right app or if it fails to show the right icon for the correct app.
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
how can i not miss my sms popup when i get an sms ?

i press back to leave NoLEAD screen but then popup is gone

i added sms popup to monitored apps but still nothing any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] vgallego65:
Hello I have NoLed V.4.3.2 installed and it is impossible to make it work together with widgetlocker.

I have tried almost everything tweaking configuration of both programs, and the only way to have noled working is uninstalling widgetlocker.
[Android Apps and Games] oksabin:
Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] jedi5diah:
firstly thanks a million! been using this since day 1.

the dimming feature is not working on darky 10.1 but it worked on miui.

kindly advise.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
No, you don't need to be rooted. :)

what version of NoLED are you running ? I've gotten rid of this one a looong time ago and haven't heard of such a thing ever since. lol. Are you using WidgetLocker perhaps ? Something is not "clearing" the old notifications. It could be WL, anything that fiddles with your lock screen or a task manager/killer terminating my app before it can clear properly.

NoLED doesn't really like sms popups :( users have posted some solutions here, but I can't find them now given how big the thread is. There is a FAQ entry for it I believe and you can try to use the back button to dismiss NoLED. That way these popups get a chance to survive.

Do the notifications show up at least ? you'll need to use the latest versions of both WL and NoLED to get it working properly. Also, use the back button to dismiss NoLED instead of the Home or Power button.

Sounds like a Kernel problem to me. wonder what kernel darky has been using as of late. (off to check)

Edit: Dark Core 2.X Ginger Kernel !

Ok, you guys need to try to load a samsung kernel just to make sure that everything is working fine. if stock kernel fixes the issue, please notify the kernel's dev about these problems.
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
I'm seeing this occasionally as well and I have a stock 2.3.3 ROM + Voodoo lagfix on my SGS. The log shows the correct notification comes in just that NoLED displays the wrong icons.

Hi madmack

i use latest version of noled

i use it with widgetlocker

i don't have any killer processes or task manager running

do you think it could be WL?

if so do you think it could be solved?

thanks

Simon
[Android Apps and Games] vgallego65:
Hello, I'm using latest versions of WL and NOLED. In order to see notifications I must select the specific app in settings and then if I got an incoming call for instance, I can not see it until I press back button, it is a very annoying thing but notifications work and if a miss something I can see the icon of specific app dimming on screen. If I simply select the default notifications in settings (SMS/MMS, Incoming Calls, Google Talk, Charging Indicator, and Emails), then I never see a notification.

Sorry for my English I hope you could understand me.
[Android Apps and Games] BunnyBunny:
why it's not working with Galaxy S II? all the settings are OK.
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
so i got the NoLED service running and ticked that option

but again i do not get notifications about missed call's or Sms's

only Gtalk

more then a week now and still did not figure out if i miss anything and after some reading i think im not :)

been playing with all possible settings is there anything else to do to make it work ?

has anyone tried out BubbleBuzz - Bubble Alerts does it miss notification's ?
[Android Apps and Games] winteum:
it can't work if %keyguard off with tasker.

Could the developer fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] teenel:
I have a Nexus S with Sprint. Your app works great for text messages and missed calls but does not work for gmail. Suggestions?? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
what should i add to monitored apps in order not to miss missed calls and messages ?

gtalk works perfect !
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm not sure what the problem is really :( but yea, its very likely that its WL. Try to uninstall it and see how things go.

Works fine here and on a couple of others' that I know as well.

That sounds like a buggy/slow ROM or phone. So in other words, when you receive an incoming call, NoLED does not disappear ? can you please give me your phone/rom versions ?

noled needs your screen to be locked (with a screen lock) for notifications to work. sometimes missed calls and SMS messages are not followed immediately by a lock, therefore you don't get any notifications. see option Delay All for a possible workaround.

Not at the moment. You're free to try one of the very early versions of NoLED that did not rely on a lock screen :) get it from the website's downloads section.

That is weird. Do you have your Gmail email account checked in noled's toggle notification screen ? do you receive any force closes ?

you can also try to trigger these gmail accounts by using the Monitored Apps feature. Check Gmail there and you should start seeing the Gmail icon whenever you get a new email.
